The Moonstone Story
Rainbow moonstone's glow — called adularescence — comes from light scattering between internal crystal layers, which is why it shifts rather than staying fixed. The cushion cut gives that glow room to spread across the surface of the stone rather than concentrating it at a single point. No two rainbow moonstone studs look identical because no two stones form the same internal structure. Long associated with intuition and new beginnings, it's a stone that tends to mean something to the people who wear it rather than just being a pretty option.
